International Day of Action against GUESS, Saturday 12th May

http://www.caft.org.uk/guess/index.html

 

GUESS is a large multinational chain of fashion shops, with over 500 shops

worldwide. Sadly Guess is also a company which uses real fur in its designs,

and is therefore a major and growing contributor to the international fur

trade. GUESS, which also trades under the name Marciano, is " aggressively "

expanding its operations into many other countries, especially in Europe,

where they plan to open 180 new outlets in the next 3 years.

 

We have contacted GUESS to request that the company takes the compassionate

step to stop the use of fur, but received no reply. We are now organising

the first International Day of Action to persuade Guess to go fur free.

Already there are at least 15 protests planned in 10 countries; UK, USA,

France, Russia, Sweden, Ireland, Finland, Italy, South Africa and Holland.

 

Whether or not you can take part in the protests, please contact GUESS and

politely ask them to take the compassionate decision to stop using real fur,

see below for the contact details.

 

If you wish to take part in any of the protests already organised, or you

can organise a protest in your own town or city, on (OR NEAR) the 12th ,

contact us, or see the store locator at

http://www.guess.com/StoreLocator.aspx

 

We have produced a leaflet/flyer about Guess for the protests, which is

being translated into other languages including Italian, Russian and

Finnish. You can download the leaflet from the website, let us know know if

you want it in your own language. http://www.caft.org.uk/guess/index.html

 

Please contact GUESS, explain the horrors of the fur trade, and politely

request that they adopt a fur free policy for all of their stores. Feel free

to mention the protests and the worldwide day of action.

 

GUESS is based in Los Angeles, USA, so please contact their head office, and

distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were

able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
